Wandesford Quay Cork is home to a world famous community of marathon swimmers whose achievements include crossings of the English Channel, the North Channel, the Straits of Gibraltar, the Cook Straits and more.

Artist Róisín Lewis draws inspiration for her work from accounts of these long swims, as well as from her own experience as an open water swimmer. Using drawing and sculptural processes, she explores the relationship between human performance, endurance and contemporary art.
